Jeez, I've four shelves of manga, a couple of them doubled-up; but I also take the series I've finished and put them in a storage container, which is getting crazy-full. Every time I PCS, I HAVE to make sure they're in containers of their own! And they're heavy as hell!

All this as a result of collecting since, oh, 2002...with Chobits being the start of it all!

I started collecting about a year ago. I am a Japanese language major and I needed some bulk practice reading material; so I figured manga would be more entertaining than newspapers. Previous to buying my first manga, I only had a small curious interest in manga/anime, however since then my fascination has grown rapidly.

Although I primarily still buy the magazines for practice reading material, I'll occasionally buy a particular series that has impacted me; most of my collection, by volume, is magazines though.
